It's been a long time since Titans running back Shonn Greene felt fully healthy going into a game.

Though he played the last 10 contests of the 2013 season after recovering from knee surgery, Greene was never at 100 percent.

That's why he's excited about Saturday's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers at LP Field. He said he's fully recovered from both knee surgeries he had in the past year.

"I'm good and I'm ready to go, 100 percent," Greene said. "I've worked hard to be back to this point, in rehab and all that. I'm fully confident and ready to go out, compete, execute and help my team win."

Greene, who missed all of the offseason organized team activities and minicamp, said he still needs to trim about three or four pounds to get to his targeted weight. But coaches have been complimentary about his running in recent practices.

"I've been feeling good throughout practices and with pads, taking hits and cutting and jumping," Greene said. "I'm ready to get back in there."
